Bab 57: The World's Discarded Child

"Somehow I don't even regret that I never considered you my brother. From your strange behavior back then, I was always wary that you were dangerous, but unfortunately, my parents and Clover paid more attention to you," Shine said again.

"Hey, why even say such pathetic things? Even if we're not related by blood, but at least Aunt Rose loves me like she loves her children. The two of them took care of me after my parents died, just like you, right?"

Shine wrinkled her forehead, "Just like me? What do you mean?" she asked.

Akio smiled back with a smirk, "The same child the world discarded and Aunt Rose took in to care for. We're both orphans who appreciate Aunt Rose's love."

"Huh, you bastard. How can you equate your life with mine? It's different!" Shine did not accept Akio's notion of equating their status in Rose's eyes.
